Step 1 - Don't turn on snapshots as the first stage of your "triple backup" strategy, contrary to your advertised features
Step 2 - Blow up your file system
Step 3 - Blow up your file system so friggin' bad you can't restore your onsite backup (2nd stage of the triple backup strategy)
Step 4 - Make sure your off-site backups are on the oldest hardware possible and make it painfully slow to restore from off site.

Haven't got a clue as to the specific kind of backups
you are talking about, but that seems to be the standard
operating procedure in the world today.

Put this script as the 1st line on the page:
Then I would write an FTP script that takes the entire /vb directory and sub-directories (files / sql database) and copies it
to another server outside of MDhosting on an automated schedule around 3:00 AM.

If MDHosting takes a SH-- on you you again you can simply goto godaddy and redirect
to that platform and all the DNS will update in a few minutes.

Your backups will be good through 3AM that day and you dont rely on a webhost to do it.

All my business clients are hosted on multiple platforms in different clouds where I control DNS and routing.
